Love seeing Deborah in the videos...one of my favorite actresses mixed with my favorite board game channel!!

[@BangersUnfiltered]

Definately need more Deborah in future videos

[@codyfairchild1]

She's just so fun to watch. She gets into the games and reacts in such adorable ways

[@musiclistsareus1029]

What has she acted in?

[@rojocuarzo]

The beauty of her smile and the brightness of her eyes, is totally beautiful to watch. And it´s very fun to see this gameplays with you all: congratulations! :-)

[@lancemcque1459]

@@musiclistsareus1029 True Blood. Netflix Daredevil series. Netflix Punisher series. I'm sure many other stuff.

[@topherwolf1113]

So great you found another woman to add to the group who has enough personality to hold her own against the big characters, offer intelligent opinions and also is great fun to watch! Love Deborah being part of this brilliant group!

[@dfunkction73]

Hooray! Another Deborah episode! I think she has great chemistry with the BGG crew. She really gets into gaming, and she has some gaming skills.

[@emersonwilson872]

[@popgas3821]

18:39 😂 that game night was really fun to watch 😊

[@aimthegodofwar]

I don't really know if anybody thought of this, but for the "Star" it suddenly hit me that "Ringo" would be a cool clue.

[@Shoikan71]

Very fun game, and nice editing in this chapter. Kudos to Lincoln for that.

[@TeaHauss]

20:04 Nicki's impersonation of The Office stare

[@C0LS0N]

I thought I was alone in noticing that 😂

[@craigsomerton2359]

Best of all the SdJ nominees this year. We combined sets and played with 8-14 people at a recent con for over 2 hours straight, mixing numerous players in an out through the course of the game. With larger groups, we adopt the "no proper nouns" rule, which forces players to be more creative.

[@JackieFox1976]

I don't love party games, but I loved every second of this episode! You guys rock!

[@JackieFox1976]

And actually, I own this game and it's a lot of fun

[@jstuart1980]

I really enjoy GameNight! videos. You guys do a great job explaining the game rules for every game, and give an unbiased view of play, which is appreciated. Thank you.

[@skow7620]

if 3/4 and 007 are legal, so is 123,123 as it is a standard notation for a number and is probably a happy coincidence rather than intentional. It might be argued that the comma is unnecessary, but so is the 00 in writing the number 7 and 007 is specifically listed in the rules as legal. "..." at the end probably not, but a similar legal effect could be achieved with 123.123 with a line over the three decimal places to indicate a repeating decimal.

[@JONNER666]

Played it. Loved it! btw Big KUDOS to Lincoln for the shirt selection.

[@BBBDGaming]

I love watching this show. Fantastic job! Keep em coming!!! A+

[@koomo801]

"I wrote Judy Garland." Ha!!! I always enjoy Kevin on these shows.

[@aqurk]

Enjoyable watch, nice group. For some reason, I always enjoy the ones Kevin is involved in, a little bit more.

[@46281]

Deborah definitely fits perfect into this group. She freshens it up and is super likable. I wanna see more of her!

[@Brashnir]

You should watch her D&D show - Relics and Rarities. Or, you know, one of the dozens of films and TV shows she has been in.

[@anikokulcsar1803]

Love watching this group playing

[@joshrumble7467]

Amazing start to the video Dave! :D

[@Nos4a2ed]

i love these guys... so much fun

[@tiagodias9]

Love you guys ! It's very nice to see Deborah on the videos, she's such a a nice person ! I am not a native speaker but I don't know how Dave did not nailed the first word during the explanation, those were wonderful clues! :D

[@AmateurBoardgamer]

This game is like a "Word-tionary" and the co-op element makes playing the game in a group extremely awesome... Seems like a likely winner for 2019 Spiel des Jahres..

[@Reggie1408]

Definately better than lame-ah

[@scottpayne8640]

I laugh with you guys . . . that speaks of your success in what you are doing. Thanks for the playthrough.

[@LiejantoWijaya]

Like Deborah on the show.. Nice party game

[@AhJong0]

A lot of fun, always interested by the SDJ nominees getting covered.

[@desdemian]

Awesome opening line.

[@thetasworld]

Propably the best opening so far... :D

[@ZmenitBussler]

They said they were gonna just tell us the word the first few rounds but I couldn’t read it on my phone so I got to play right off the bat!

[@lawrenberghanson4401]

Adding a timer would definitely make this game more challenging.

[@VeggieGamer]

I worked out Siren and have never been prouder of myself in my life!

[@mk_mio]

OMG!! Just realized that Deborah is the blond lady!! Shooked!! Love her to bits!

[@danm2144]

We were a group of 11 playing this. We got the flip white board books out from Telestrations so everyone could participate. It was a great party game.

[@donhanson9571]

Love Lincoln's shirt

[@g8kpr3000]

I was like "hey, she looks like the actress on daredevil" and whaddya know! Good to see more celebs getting into gaming. Now we need to see her, Rich Sommer, Kristen Bell playing a game with Seth Green and Wil Wheaton

[@StevenHunter777]

I'd've gone with "Sandhill" rather than "whooping" for crane since out here in Cali they're the only ones, but I guess I should save that for the Wingspan episode.

[@marcodavinci3150]

This is the actress from True Blood right?! She seems so down to earth and fun! ❤

[@meodrac]

Art of Faye(Deborah) playing this with Kratos, Atreus, Angrboda, Brok, Sindri, and Mimir would be so awesome.

[@MystiqWisdom]

Can't you play this game with a word generator app or website? I've seen some with varying obscurity and word difficulties.

[@harleygrattan2851]

Keep Debra, she is cool!

[@mattwattz9237]

Why do they close their eyes for the whole round? Can be just the sharing moment

[@robs5688]

I think this game could use a one-minute hourglass timer, both for guesses as well as for writing clues.

[@Shad0wSix]

Can we use a hyphenated word? Like "well-built"

[@ThomasLiljeruhm]

Deborah is a delight. Game looks fun. But I believe that you're all writing on the "wrong" side of the "paper". You're supposed to easily put it down when you're finished and the color won't rub off on the table.

[@brodenshean1433]

This game looks like great fun. Dave's Subscribe/notification outro maybe could be better as a separate thing recorded once and tacked onto the end, in the same place of course, then he only has to do it once.

[@boardgamegeek]

It's just fun for us to see him struggle. -Lincoln

[@FrancisPelletier]

So it's like a coop scattegories

[@seanytoyguns8638]

I'm waiting for the part where Frank Castle bust down the door!

[@blabcoboy]

Is using Pictionary cards with some mini white boards and dry erase markers will make me be able to play this game? Want to try it with my students.

[@craigsomerton2359]

Definitely. I tried to find the original "We are the Word" game well over a year ago, but it wasn't available anywhere, so I printed my own word list cards and laminated some paper and folded them into word stands - worked fantastically, and can accommodate even more than 7 players. We've played quite a few times with 8-14 players.

[@dabiga06]

need help doing the one's on theur website and the 4 words are bird, chick, soft and eggs. I can't get it for the life of me. any ideas?

[@johnnylchalk2370]

can u guys play salem please?

[@KabukiKid]

I'll be shocked if this one doesn't win the SdJ this year.

[@halsbandschnaepper1]

Lama will win.

[@KabukiKid]

Always could happen. It's just Crazy 8s basically, though, right?

[@Reggie1408]

@@halsbandschnaepper1 Frisst du jetzt einen Besen? xD

[@Reggie1408]

What's the connection between "parking lot?" and "paradise" ?

[@chgoe]

There's a song called Big Yellow Taxi, and the lyrics are.. They paved paradise And put up a parking lot

[@Reggie1408]

@@chgoe Ok, I know the song. But that clue would have done nothing for me :D

[@BenRangel]

One thing I kinda dislike about this game compared to other word association games like Codenames or Decrypto is that there's nothing to while you wait for the other side to write clues or make a guess.

[@keel1701]

I hate to put more work on you, but in the future with these types of games, maybe edit to put the word on the bottom of the screen for viewers? Like the old Password/Pyramid game shows. There were a few rounds where you flipped the card over before the overhead shot.

[@HITFORDCYCLE1]

I would have done odds for bet.

[@applejuicefool69]

123,123 is 1 number...

[@moribnd]

board games with the Punisher next? She looks a lot like Matt Murdoch's secretary.

[@boardgamegeek]

That is Deborah Ann Woll who appeared in the Punisher and Daredevil. She is a super fun person and gamer. -Lincoln

[@user-lk4jd5yc8d]

Why isn’t Tyrion allowed?

[@rosu3870]

I’m not overly excited about that game. Ok, it’s simple, it’s definitely not bad but too dull and downtime-y for my taste.

[@alantam4579]

Seven can play at that game

[@SheezyBites]

I did not know Americans called it a Cigarettes Carton, it's either a Packet or a Case here...

[@Dispaminite]

We call them a Carton or Pack, with 10 packs per carton.

[@boardgamegeek]

A carton of cigarettes in the U.S. is a box of something like 10 packs of cigarettes. Thanks for the note and for watching. -Lincoln

[@daveseidnergd]

Carton is the larger box that holds 10 packs

[@atonaltensor]

What prevents a meta game from developing where one player is always designate to give the most obvious clue? That way, the group always gets to have the most obvious clue.

[@MunchhausenPL]

Why in hell someone would like to be that obvious clue giver and destroy all the fun? I mean c'mon, people. If your group does that, no rule will help you.

[@atonaltensor]

Of course it would ruin the fun. But that’s a different from whether the rules are airtight enough to prevent such a thing from happening regardless. You might think it’s a moot point, but an idealized set of rules should make undesirable behavior illegal, whether the players would be motivated to do so or not. That’s what separates a brilliant design from a serviceable one. See Codenames for example. I was a music theory student in college, and there’s an old paradigm that says the ideal work of music should sound as free as a Strauss waltz but be as mathematically rigorous as a Bach fugue. Likewise in game design: the ideal set of rules should be as liberating and fun as the lightest fluff of a party game, but should still be so airtight and rigorous that it prevents even people who are deliberately trying to break the game from breaking the game. The Mind was an excellent example of such a rule set.

[@craigsomerton2359]

Because what is often the most obvious clue for you may not be the most obvious one for anyone else.

[@boardgamegeek]

I'll second Craig. Many times what is obvious to you is obvious to no one else. Those discoveries are part of why the game is enjoyable! -WEM

[@tribalguy2]

The rules don’t actually say the guesser has to close their eyes, right? That’s always uncomfortable.

[@vincentbersane]

They missed a censor 7:06

[@boardgamegeek]

Deborah said "Shoot". We don't censor that ;-) -Lincoln

[@vincentbersane]

Just making sure i heard something different

[@dallen8997]

Hi guys! Nerd me up

[@HomestarRunner20X6]

Nikki and Deborah are so adorable. And no, I'm not a creepy creeper, I'm a gay man. They're just adorable.

[@F4R207]

Deborah and it's not D&D, what is this heresy?

[@lordquinn1605]

When you have a game and need to show us a word we the viewer cannot read it off the card Flash it on the video in LARGE LETTERS ! Please !

[@boardgamegeek]

We really want you to play along. -Lincoln

[@CV-lm7pv]

I love Deborah's way of handling anxiety. I always believed it was just a method acting tool. But no, its just her XD. By the way, if I had such beautiful features like hers I will never hide them so much, either way I think it's cute :)

[@conillet]

That the scoring system should penalize guessing is just wrong, and people are house-ruling this all over the place. For my money, this is by far the weakest of the three "Spiel des Jahres" nominees.

[@GG4GJake]

I think you are focusing on the "winning part" more than the fun of the game and how much they enjoyed playing it. This is a game where the scoring is basically pointless

[@xragg]

This is a complete rip off of a "walmart" game. I don't remember what it's called, but I remember playing it with kids I work with.

[@jacobmorejead8122]

They mention towards the end that this game is a re-branded version of a previous game that didn't do too well. Perhaps you've just played the original version?

[@boardgamegeek]

This design was first published in 2017 from a tiny French company under the name We Are The Word (www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/241611), and Belgian publisher Repos then took the design, developed it into Just One, and released it in multiple languages. -WEM

[@keel1701]

You can't make a claim like "complete rip off" and then not provide the most basic level of evidence like the game name.

[@xragg]

@@keel1701 Sure I can, didn't you see the comment? Seems like I made the claim. I am sure you have a photogenic memory of every interaction you've had and could remember the name of a game you played 10+ tears ago that you didn't own, but I don't. I know I thought at the time it was pretty similar to scattergories and was surprised it wasn't considered a rip off of that.

[@keel1701]

@@xragg accusing someone of a straight rip off is a serious accusation and is almost always unfounded and exaggerated. Without the title of the game or any description of the gameplay, no one can refute you. And you even admit the game was from 10 years ago and you didn't own it which means a) you probably didn't read the rules personally and b) you don't remember it with complete accuracy.
